[QUOTE="witzend, post: 270028, member: 99"] We use the knee trick and Mandy hugs your knee. It's totally useless. :( Try the medium sized Kong stuffed with small Iams biscuits. They really have to work to get the treat out and they really enjoy that. It's not so much about the amount of food they get out of it as it is about the amount of chewing they get out of it, and all the better if you can make it fun. Rope toys are great, too, but don't leave him alone with it as they sometimes eat the string and get them caught in their gut. Bubba and Mandy can go through one of those rawhides you are describing in about 2 -3 hours. It's really fattening, so if you can find something that's more about work than eating, it would be better. Like I say, try the non-edible "nyla-bone". They're meat flavored, and Mandy and Bubba both like them. Bubba doesn't chew as much now that he's older.

We put her on it for about 20 minutes a day at a good trot in addition to a walk outside. I always sit there with my coffee or a book and watch to be sure that she doesn't fall off or get too tired.
